Entering User-defined Satellite Data
To configure your user-defined satellites, follow the steps below.
1. Using your PC’s terminal emulation program, type
HALT<cr> (<cr> indicates a carriage return/ENTER
key). This command puts the antenna in Idle mode.
2. Enter the SATCONFIG parser command:
Command: SATCONFIG,USERX,YYY,Z,D,L<cr>
Where: X = 1 (USER1 satellite) or 2 (USER2 satellite)
YYY = longitude (0-180)
Z = E (East) or W (West)
D = decoding type (0 = test, 1 = DSS-A,
2 = DSS-B, 3 = DVB)
L = LNB polarization (C = circular, L = linear)
Function: configures one of the user-configurable satellites
with the longitude provided
Response: if valid entry, echoes the input data
if invalid entry, returns error message
3. Type @DEBUGON<cr> to enter DEBUG mode.
4. Enter the satellite’s transponder information:
Command: @SATCONFIG,X,N,F,S,C,ID,P,B,D<cr>
Where: @SATCONFIG = directs data to the RF Board
X = satellite location (A = USER1, B = USER2)
N = satellite table # (98 = USER1, 99 = USER2)
F = frequency in MHz (either 00000 or a range from
10700 - 12700)
S = the satellite transponder symbol rate in
Mbit/second (01000 - 29999)
C = the FEC code (e.g., 12, 23, 34, 56, 67, 78)
ID = the satellite network ID in hexidecimal format
(0x####)
P = the LNB polarization (V = vertical,
H = horizontal, R = right, L = left)
B = the LNB down conversion frequency (L = low,
H = high, G = Latin America, U = USA)
D = decoding type (0 = test, 1 = DSS-A,
2 = DSS-B, 3 = DVB)
